How much are you considering releasing a white colored version in the next 6 months or so?

There won't be any colors other than black for at least 6 months or really the foreseeable future in order to keep finish quality more consistent.
There is an issue with the front panel design that causes this on a few motherboards. There are some revised front panels being manufactured which should be ready in a couple of weeks so please contact me privately, let me know your email address and order number so that you can receive one.
In the meantime, it should be possible to carefully install the front panel with a gap after loosening some screws that attach the stainless steel brackets to the back of it. Alternatively, if you happen to have any short M3 standoffs as spares, you could insert them between those stainless steel brackets and the front panel to create extra space.
Michael are all the newer versions of the case, including people with a current pre-order going to receive the updated front panels? Just wondering when the revised version will become standard issue. Thanks.
The timeline would look something like this
October: the revised front panel will not come with the Velka 5 and 7 as standard issue but will be offered to those who run into a motherboard incompatibility
around November: the revised front panel is to be offered to everyone else
around December: the revised front panel is to be included with new cases that ship
Hello.
I am working on some alternative power solution which could replace the FLEX PSU in Velka 3 Cases & Co.
Before I go ahead, I would like to ask if someone could tell me if it would fit. My current design is about 2mm higher compared to standard FLEX size.
Now I would need to know the clearance above the Power Supply as shown below to see if it fits...
Thank you in advance.

The clearance is exactly 40.5 mm
Just finished testing 3080 FE (imgur.com/a/yRfzJjz)
3080 fits snugly in the Velka 5 v1
MSFS2020 Ultra settings for 30 mins
1. SF600 PSU w/ intake from outside: 87C spikes 84C average
2. SF600 PSU w/ intake from 3080's exhaust fan: 78C spikes, 76C average
The temp coming out of the 3080 pull-through exhaust was around 45-50C, when the 3080 was at max load (78C). I am currently using the second configuration. I don't know about the longevity for the PSU. Also, about 1/3 of the PSU fan does not pull from the 3080 exhaust, so I might add a tiny fan duct (imgur.com/eM9DvEE.jpg?1) so the PSU takes in more fresh air.
Adding some temps from other games (will update list):
Avengers, Ultra settings - 76C spikes, 74C average

Corsair SF600 Gold, the psu didn't seem any louder (mainly because my cpu fan is louder).
You’re a real hero mate, thanks for this. Will eventually be picking one up for the VK7
It’s on the website.
the PCIe Riser, two low-profile DisplayPort 1.4 extensions and an HDMI 2.0 extension
currently there is no way to buy replacement/additional cables that Michael has told us about, they seem quite niche
I clipped the tab off so the front panel closes perfectly. The case is so snug that the cable has no chance of coming loose.
Thank you for that, must be blind because I could not find quantities for the video cables anywhere.
In regards to buying more, I did find this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000723029918.html
A2-A4T looks like it could be a candidate. For the cost seems worth a try. They offer DP versions as well.
